What a mess! Michael Buffer's announcement of the way the bout ended was somewhat ambiguous: "The bell rang for the beginning of round number 10, referee Big Eddie Cotton realised the challenger could no longer continue, calls a halt to the bout ..." At no time did Michael say: "TKO at the end of round nine" or "TKO at the start of round number 10". He merely said: "winner by TKO".
I am totally convinced in my own mind that this was a TKO end of 9. Not a shadow of a doubt in my mind.
At the end of the day, it all rests with the line manager at individual sportsbooks.
I repeat, I believe that anyone getting credit for a win on a KO10 proposition or a KO in rounds 10-12, round-group wager, can count themselves very fortunate, and good luck to them because as we all know, fortune can swing either way in this business.
Actually, i believe too the correct result is 9 rd tko.
Players and sportsbooks got their feet tangled up by the unprofessional job of the announcers.
At least i learned something today.:violin:
